Product Description

Experience our awesome 3D-Photo Booth – Unique in New Zealand. Just 2-3 seconds is all it takes to capture your pet and/or you a tip to toe, head to tail, three dimensions, in full colour. Good-bye 2D-photography!

Essentially our service includes 3D-scanning, digital 3D-modelling and full-colour 3D-printing of realistic human or canine replicas (Mini-You / Mini-Buddy figurines).

As part of the service you will receive a link to view and share you 3D-digital avatar on Facebook or other social platforms.

Example (Graduate Avatar):  3D-viewer

Effective scan time per person is less than 1 second (to capture 300+ photos of the subject) and our service is suitable for children, elderly people and even for dogs. FYI – The actual print production is performed off-site.

For good results we recommend to not capture more than two persons at a time (we get best results from scanning person by person, individually).

Material Information

Material option 1:  Full-colour sandstone (composite powder)

Composite material full-colour prints (CJP – Colour Jet Printing) leave the printer fully coloured, using a fine powdered composite material that resembles sandstone. The printer technology is based on the CMYK colour spectrum (390,000 distinct colours) and achieves a resolution of up to 600×540 dpi.

Sandstone is a brittle material with a rough surface that must be handled with care. Exposure to water may cause fading, however, our protective, matt coating will provide some resistance to water, moisture and UV-rays. Ideally the figurines are kept away from direct exposure to sunlight (e.g. avoid placing them by the window). Material option 1 is the most cost-effective method to 3D-print models in full-colour.

Once the customer approves the final model version, the turnaround time will be approx. 15 business days.

Express processing is available (10 business days, but subject to +20% charge)

Material option 2: Full-colour polyjet (photo-polymer resin)

Full-Colour polyjet is a rigid plastic material printed on the powerful Stratasys J750 3D-printer. The printer uses polyjet technology by jetting photo-polymer materials in ultra-thin layers onto a build tray, layer by layer until the model is completed. Each photo-polymer layer is cured by UV light immediately after being jetted, producing fully cured models. The result is a clear (matt) plastic-like look, achieving 500,000 colour combinations (opaque, vivid full-colour).

Compared to CJP (material option 1), polyjet has better mechanical properties, chemical resistance, more vivid colours, smoother surface and offers finer details over all.

Turnaround time and express processing options are the same as material option 1.

Make sure to choose one appointment slot per pet/person to be scanned. One session is approx. 3-5 min.
